It certainly does. Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook175.html (setting up user ppp) in particular http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook180.html#424 (receiving incoming calls with ppp) it has a reference to http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook152.html#dialup (configuring freebsd for dialup services) However I installed mgetty and had a look at the hypertext manual at http://www.leo.org/~doering/mgetty/index.html and at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook180.html#userppp:mgetty I fiddled around a bit until I understood what the set ifaddr commands did in user ppp (thanks also to having a look at Greg Leheys new "Complete FreeBSD"). things to remember: * have a look at all the documentation you can find first as their are some things you can miss if you don't have a bit of an overview first (I found anyway). * I keep forgetting to put my nameserver entry into /etc/resolv.conf without this you may have problems * make sure you have gateway enabled in your /etc/rc.conf if you wish to use the server as a router/gateway (I apologise if I've used the wrong term) * make sure you've got the right things in your kernel such as psuedo-device tun 1 for user ppp Hope this helps, I apologise in advance if any of the links are wrong as I typed them in.
